Texture

Texture is a toolset for the production of scientific content. It has first-class support for JATS, the de facto standard for archiving and interchange of scientific open-access contents with XML.

Roadmap

Texture is still at an early alpha stage: there are likely to be missing features, bugs and API changes. But we would ❤️ to get your suggestions and 🐛 reports.

• = ready for production use
• = ready for beta user testing
• = ready for alpha testing; use with caution
• Planned for release (e.g. Alpha 4)

We generally only plan one or two releases ahead. We aim to do quaterly releases, towards a 1.0 release in 2018. Please see our more detailed ROADMAP.md document.
